PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As blood flows into each nephron, it enters a cluster of tiny blood vessels-the glomerulus. The thin walls of the glomerulus allow smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid-mostly water-to pass into the tubule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The forces that govern filtration in the glomerular capillaries are the same as any capillary bed. Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc) and Bowman’s space oncotic pressure (i) favor filtration into the tubule, and Bowman’s space hydrostatic pressure (Pi) and capillary-oncotic pressure (c) oppose filtration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The filtration of blood is carried out in renal corpuscle. Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together form the renal corpuscle. Glomerulus is a group of blood capillaries that is present in the Bowman’s capsule of nephrons and is the seat, where the process of ultrafiltration takes place.
